Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for January 21, 2012
Transcript:
Satchel: Remember, Buck, even geniuses have midlife career changes. Bucky: We do? Satchel: Yeah, they do, let's see... After Newton invented calculators, he moved on to fruit cooked. Da vinci finally got a real job and wrote a book bout encryption or something... Heck, last I heard, Beethoven's just a big dog now! Ha ha! Doesn't get any changer than that! Bucky: I feel oddly comforted in that I'm comforted and you're odd.

Love Satchel’s subtle sarcasm….Bucky says, “we do?” and he answers, “yeah, they do.” Got away with that one, Satch.

Never forget when Karl “PINKO” Marx left Russia’s political & social revolution to become a Vaudeville act with his sons.

Newtons fig cookies were really good, but when he tried to combine his two careers and make them out of fallen apples… not so hot.
And crweaver — first he invented some lovely pastries.

Wow, the scales have fallen from my eyes! I can see it all clearly now….it’s….it’s……….BEAUTIFUL…….I now see the world as Bucky sees it. Just for a moment maybe, but I agree with Bucky 100% this time. ….Yes Bucky we do. (Say that like Patric Stewart on those car rental adds)Etherair, thanks for the edification on the calculus to calculators reference. Went right over my head.naturally, yeah, that’s my favorite exchange too..Wouldn’t it be great to walk around in Darby’s mind for a while? Or at least have a beer with him?….Susan, thanks for the Christmas card. Next year put a bow on your forehead and send yourself?

Fig Newtons were on the Big Bang Theory last night! They’re named after a small town in Massachusetts. :-D :-D

And it was about time Da Vinci got a real job! All he ever did was putz around the house fiddling with things and thinkin’ about stuff….talk about being lazy…….Fine example for our kids today!

@naturally_easyThanks for pointing that out. I got all of the other references in this strip but somehow “they do” escaped me.

Newton’s calculator refers to the failed Apple PDA called “Newton”

I think the wrong Newton is running for president.

It is a great trip thru this strip…thanks for the guidances, o percipient commentators. You guys are great…and while I giggle and laugh a lot, I miss stuff…thanks. God! how much better life is when one has smart friends…
Kathe almost 13 years ago
Oh Satch and Bucky…..you guys perk up my day.

Bucky is comforted why? Because he realizes that… yes… he “is” Dog Beethoven.
LadyChel almost 13 years ago
Aha! So that’s how those Fig Newton’s came into existence. When the apple fell on Newton’s head, he made a cookie out of it!

I think Bucky is on the mend.

I feel that the turnaround in Bucky’s last line was the pinnacle of the mountain of genious that’s been in some of the strips for the last two weeks. (even if it’s just Bucky’s genius and not Conley’s)

Wow! Wait till I tell my daughter how much I learned today. I feel better too, Bucky. But then I’m a ‘mindless liberal’ like Satchell so I feel better most of the time.

Good for you, Bucky, You cute liitle fuzz-butt.
rgcviper almost 13 years ago
Ha. I love Satchel’s “changier” comment and Bucky’s words about “comforted” and “odd”..This comic is great.
Bearfist almost 13 years ago
I’m so happy that Bucky is finally having some real, positive feelings towards Sach. He’s beginning to develope true cat behavior. Maybe the title of the strip can become “Warm & Fuzzy”..

The Apple Newton was OK, but Apple Newtons are quite delicious.
